Texas has emerged as a leader in artificial intelligence, with experts predicting a significant technological transformation that will have generational impacts on Dallas-Fort Worth. The state of Texas is known for its business friendly and infrastructure for AI, according to Jennifer Sanders, executive director of the North Texas Innovation Alliance. However, conservationists are concerned that data centers housing AI infrastructure could potentially exacerbate Texas' already strained water supply. The third state to adopt a comprehensive AI law, which bans harmful AI systems that encourage physical self-harm or engage in criminal activity, also prohibits discrimination, constitutional rights violations, and exploitation of minors. Meanwhile, organizations like Dallas AI and the NorthTexas Innovation Alliance are helping companies and workers understand how to use AI.
